I have a program aa that depends on libbb which depends on libcc.
In libb's Makefile.am I have added
libbb_la_LIBADD = -lcc
In aa's Makefile I have added
aa_LDADD = -lbb
This works wonderful in the default case.
But I needed static linking, so I ran all the configures with --disable-shared.
Unfortunately when compiling aa I got:
libb_source.c: undefined reference to libcc_symbol
Any ideas what is missing?
Update: Don't think of specifying dependencies like this if you are crosscompiling and using a stagingdir.
Don't pass the link flag. Give it the name of the libtool archive and let automake work it out:
aa_LDADD = bb/libbb.la
In case you ever want to build Windows DLLs, you might also want to put -no-undefined in libbb_la_LDFLAGS.
